RV Engine
Rebuild
Our tired old 454 finally bit the dust. On the
way back to Florida it started backfiring under load, and losing power
climbing hills. Fuel economy dropped and oil consumption went up. Started
overheating again too. The most minor problems I can imagine causing all
this would be: a partially clogged radiator and/or a defective fan clutch;
some issue in the heads involving valve stem seals and either a burned
valve, or a head gasket leak; exhaust manifold cracked or gasket blown. All
this in addition to the known rear main seal leak.
Go to his website to hear this RVer discuss his
options, his decisions and the reasons for them, the installation, and the
results.
